    ; fragments. Soil Surface. A discontinuous layer of drying platelets rests loosely on the surface. A dark algal crust occurs discontinuously on the surface of the plates. Beneath the loose plates, the surface is weakly cracked into polygons 2-8 cm diameter. Polygon surfaces have a smooth appearance.
